Should You Buy Nu Holdings While It's Still Below $15?
American investors might not be too familiar with Nu Holdings (NYSE: NU). True, it's a large-cap company with a $65 billion market capitalization currently. And yes, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owned a stake in it for about three years. But because it operates in Latin America, Nu probably flies under the radar for many here in the U.S. This fintech stock has soared by an impressive 230% in the past three years (as of June 25), although it has taken investors on a volatile ride along the way. But should you buy shares right now while they trade below $15? Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Nu continues to grow at a brisk pace Because of how mature the financial services industry is, there aren't that many companies in the space that are rapidly rising up through its ranks. Here's where Nu stands out. Its leaders saw an opportunity to target unbanked and underbanked populations in Latin America, providing them with a digital-first platform that offers bank accounts, brokerage services, credit cards, loans, and crypto trading, among other things. As of March 31, Nu had 119 million customers, the vast majority of them in its home market of Brazil. The company now counts a remarkable 59% of that country's adult population as its customers. In the last three years, Nu has essentially doubled its customer base. Nu also operates in Mexico and Colombia, both markets that have sizable potential. Combined, they have a population of 185 million people -- 13 times greater than the number of customers Nu has attracted so far in those countries. The leadership team is optimistic. According to their estimates, Nu has only captured 5% of its gross profit total addressable market in Brazil. One key pillar of its growth playbook is to constantly innovate. Nu just launched a service offering private payroll loans in Brazil, taking on the established players in that part of the industry. It also has a travel service (NuTravel) and a mobile phone service (NuCel). These initiatives clearly show its willingness to venture beyond financial services. It might have plans to enter other new markets down the road, further expanding revenue potential. However, so far, executives are playing it close to the vest. Sensitive to external forces Because Nu's growth has been so spectacular, investors might overlook the fact that this is still a bank at its core. And that means that Nu is heavily exposed to certain factors outside of its control. Interest rates are one thing to keep in mind. No one can reliably predict with any level of precision what direction interest rates are headed in over the longer term. But rate hikes and cuts can have profound impacts on Nu's revenue and earnings. A recession or economic downturn would also spell trouble for the bank, as demand for loans would fall, delinquencies would rise, and spending activity would take a hit. Nu's operations are entirely in Latin America, which is still a developing region. On the one hand, that's an advantage, as it provides Nu with a huge opportunity to expand its offerings, bring on new customers, and ride the wave of GDP growth and smartphone/internet penetration. On the other hand, developing economies are prone to volatility. For instance, Brazil's economy is dependent on commodity exports, which can be influenced by market prices that can negatively impact GDP. There are other issues as well, like political instability and corruption. These elements can make running a successful financial services enterprise difficult. Nonetheless, Nu has performed exceptionally well in the face of these ongoing risks. Its revenues have soared, and so have its profits. Diluted earnings per share jumped 47% year over year in Q1, and analysts are forecasting that this key metric will increase at an annualized pace of 36% between 2024 and 2027. With shares trading at a forward P/E ratio of 23.5, investors should consider buying this fintech stock while it's still below $15. Should you invest $1,000 in Nu Holdings right now? Before you buy stock in Nu Holdings, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nu Holdings wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

U.S. Senate braces for first big vote on Trump agenda – with support still unclear
The U.S. Capitol building is seen on the day of a meeting of US Senators, as Republican lawmakers struggle to pass President Donald Trump's sweeping spending and tax bill, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on Saturday, June 28. Ken Cedeno/Reuters via CNN Newsource Senate Republicans are about to face a major test of loyalty to U.S. President Donald Trump, as the chamber braces for its first vote on whether to advance the president's giant tax cuts and spending bill. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his team have been fiercely lobbying their members to get in line behind the measure, with President Donald Trump and White House officials also leaning heavily on the remaining GOP holdouts. Trump met with key holdouts — Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — on Saturday, just hours before GOP leaders hoped to hold the vote, according to those two senators' close colleague, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah. Trump has also spoken to other critical votes, like Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who earlier Saturday declared his support for the bill. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, another critic of the bill, golfed with the president on Saturday morning, according to South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham. But it's not yet clear whether Thune will be able to limit defections on that procedural vote, with centrists like Sen. Thom Tillis and a small group of GOP hardliners — Lee, Scott and Johnson — still pushing for changes to the bill. But GOP leadership believe they will ultimately succeed, thanks, in part, to immense pressure from Trump. In one sign of the uncertainty, the Senate GOP's plans to hold that first vote at 4 p.m. has already slipped by several hours as party leaders attempt to coordinate with members about which amendments could come up for a vote this weekend. 'The most recent information that we have is that we have a commitment for the votes, but in order to get to that commitment, there are some amendments that some people want to make sure that they can offer,' Rounds said on CNN. 'They're trying to make sure that the scores on their amendments are appropriate and that they'll fit within the confines that the bill calls for,' Rounds said. 'We will have the vote here before long that will answer all that,' Thune told reporters when asked about the current opposition to moving ahead with the bill. His deputy, Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, was defiant as he declared the Senate would vote in the coming hours regardless of the whip count. 'We are going to be voting on the motion to proceed at 4 p.m.,' Barrasso said when pressed on whether Republicans will have the votes. Thune can afford to lose only three GOP votes on the floor. And three Republicans, Tillis, Johnson and Paul, have already said they would block the bill from moving ahead. (A fourth, Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana, briefly said he'd oppose it over concerns with a public land sale provision, but he later said the issue would be worked out and he would vote yes on the bill.) It all amounts to an intense Saturday scramble for Trump and GOP leaders, who are intent on passing the president's agenda as quickly as possible. Trump has told GOP leaders he wants to sign the bill at the White House on July 4 – and that still requires approval from the narrowly divided GOP House, which is also no guarantee. House Republicans, meanwhile, held a brief 15-minute call on Saturday, during which Speaker Mike Johnson sought to rally his troops behind the bill and tamp down on any public consternation from his own members. A frustrated Johnson urged his members to keep their powder dry and refrain from weighing in publicly on the Senate's version of the bill, as so much of it is in flux — which means no posts on X, three sources said. At least one Republican, Rep. David Valadao of California, posted publicly that he opposed the Senate bill because of changes to Medicaid. And another Republican who is closely watching the Medicaid provisions, Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, told CNN: 'I don't like it. We had hit a sweet spot with our bill.' Once the Senate is able to clear the first procedural hurdle on the bill, Thune will face an entirely different headache. Senators will then move onto a marathon session known as a vote-a-rama, which is an open-ended hourslong series of votes on amendments — some political, some substantive — offered mostly by Democrats trying to poison the bill and put Republicans on the spot. The votes will provide fodder for campaign ads down the line. But this vote-a-rama could be more than just politically painful for Republicans: At least one Republican holdout has signaled she will offer her own amendments to the bill in an unusual move for a GOP bill. Key Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she wants changes to the bill made through the amendment process or she might vote against it in the end. Her negotiations throughout the session will be critical. It may be many hours until that final vote takes place, however. Democrats are planning a procedural maneuver that they believe will delay the process by 10 to 15 hours. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer informed his caucus on Saturday to prepare for their party to do a 'force a full reading' of the Senate GOP bill, according to a person familiar with the plans. The tactic was last deployed by Republican Sen. Johnson, who forced the Senate to read aloud then-President Joe Biden's 628-page pandemic relief bill in 2021.

With a $3.8 Trillion Market Cap, Does Nvidia Really Still Have Room to Grow?
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is the largest publicly traded company, with a market cap of about $3.8 trillion on Friday afternoon, and a stock price that's just below its all-time high. Nvidia's growth story has been nothing short of extraordinary. Revenue has grown by nearly 400% over the past two years as AI investment activity has exploded, and that's after an already extremely impressive multidecade history. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » If you don't already own Nvidia, is it too late to invest? With an estimated 95% share of its most important end markets and nearly $150 billion in revenue over the past four quarters, it's easy to understand why Nvidia's upside from here might appear limited. But I'd argue the opposite. Not only do I think Nvidia's revenue could get much larger from here, but the stock could produce market-beating returns for many years to come. Nvidia has more growth potential than you might think Nvidia has four main business segments: data center, gaming, professional visualization, and automotive. The data center segment is by far the most important. In simple terms, AI-focused applications require a tremendous amount of data processing ability, and Nvidia's data center accelerator products are widely considered to be the gold standard. As mentioned, the company has a dominant (estimated) 95% market share. And the industry itself is growing rapidly. Over the past year, Nvidia's data center segment sales tripled, and the $120 billion global market for data center accelerators is expected to roughly double over the next five years. Data center capital spending -- mostly by large tech companies -- is expected to reach $1 trillion annually in just three years, compared to $500 billion today. In other words, if Nvidia simply maintains its dominant market share, the largest and most critical part of its business could double or more in size by 2030. The company's other segments have lots of room to grow as well. The automotive segment is a big opportunity, as advanced autonomous vehicle technology is still in the early stages of evolution, and Nvidia already has 20 of the top 30 EV manufacturers on its customer roster. In fact, GPUs for automotive applications is expected to be a $45 billion market by 2030, and Nvidia also develops software systems, safety systems, and more for automotive applications. Capital allocation and a reasonable valuation Nvidia's free cash flow hasn't been anywhere near the current level for long, but now that the company is generating boatloads of cash, management is allocating it in shareholder-friendly ways. The company does pay a quarterly dividend, but it's a minuscule one (0.03% yield), at least for now. But buybacks are becoming an increasingly large focus of management. In the first quarter, Nvidia spent more than $14 billion on stock buybacks, which was more than half of the company's free cash flow. However, keep in mind that Nvidia's free cash flow grew by 75% year over year, and is expected to grow rapidly for at least the next few years, so it wouldn't be surprising to see buybacks expand along with it. Finally, Nvidia is not a cheap stock, trading at 48 times trailing 12-month earnings and about 34 times sales. But it isn't necessarily an expensive one. Nvidia's revenue growth (both past and projected) clearly justifies a higher P/E ratio. Analyst estimates call for 44% year-over-year earnings growth in the current fiscal year (ending January 2026) and another 34% in the following year. Plus, the combination of this growth rate and Nvidia's stellar margins (net margin over 50%) warrant an elevated price-to-sales multiple. In fact, by some popular metrics, such as the price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio, Nvidia stock looks rather attractive right now. The bottom line is that a combination of a growing market opportunity, shareholder-friendly capital allocation, and a reasonable valuation could allow Nvidia to continue to grow and produce excellent returns for years to come. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now? Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them.
